#Obduction vr vive how to#

I have a GTX 980 Ti in this machine and still had some stuttering with the graphics defaulted to Medium. The updated feature-rich package includes all platforms released to date. YouРІР‚в„ўre going to need one hell of a machine to run Obduction smoothly in VR. Obduction Vive and Touch Now Available Cyan Inc., makers of the legendary Myst and Riven franchise, announced today that Obduction, its critically-acclaimed sci-fi adventure puzzle game, is now available on HTC Vive, and updated with Touch controls for Oculus Rift. (The same applies to Myst-like adventure Call of the Starseed.) Myst's spiritual successor now allows you to pull levers, press buttons, and pick up objects with your. It sounds silly, but especially for a game in the Myst vein thatРІР‚в„ўs mostly about interfacing with strange gizmos thereРІР‚в„ўs something special about doing so in VR. ObductionРІР‚в„ўs new VR hand-tracking makes MystРІР‚в„ўs spiritual successor even more stunning. ItРІР‚в„ўs enough to give you vertigo.Р”Р„nd like all hand-tracked VR, thereРІР‚в„ўs the novelty that comes with operating machinery with your hands. Ditto for the towering cliffs of Kaptar, stretching down into a cloud-filled void.

That iconic little white house with its picket fence? ItРІР‚в„ўs not so little once you have the headset on. As I wrote about during ObductionРІР‚Вs original Oculus release last year, Obduction in VR gives you a whole different sense of scale. ItРІР‚в„ўs a bit of a disappointment, especially because it breaks the immersion, but at least CyanРІР‚в„ўs willing to give the feature a shot in its first VR game.I just spent half an hour doing just that with the Vive, and itРІР‚в„ўs stunning. I tried once again with a lever, and after I gave it a small push it moved the rest of the way on its own. I thought I had to hold onto the wheel as it turned all the way around, but all it took was simple nudge of my hand in the right direction.

Unfortunately, it wasnРІР‚в„ўt as immersive as I imagined. Obduction is getting Vive support Just got my backer email today and they said Vive support is on the way I'm on mobile so I'm not sure how to provide proof but it's happening after Rift support with no date set. During the demo, I had to turn a wheel in order to rotate a moving platform. The inclusion of hand controllers also means that there are interactions with the gameРІР‚в„ўs many switches, levers, and wheels. This morning Cyan announced that Vive and Oculus Touch support has been added into the game, allowing you to. I was able to move through the level with ease because of the teleportation tool, and the turning mechanic was comfortable without giving me the sensation that the room was spinning. Considering the issues with locomotion and nausea in virtual reality, this solution made sense, and it actually worked.

However, Cyan had a work-around: After teleporting to the new spot (complete with fade in and fade out transitions), I turned in small degrees by pushing the right analog stick left or right. When I pushed the left analog stick forward, a small circle appeared in front of me that was connected to my virtual body by a small arc line, (those who played Epic GamesРІР‚в„ў Robo Recall will have some familiarity with the feature), but I couldnРІР‚в„ўt dictate my orientation prior to teleporting to the circle.
